steve hartman "on the road," with "taps across america." this is the "cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell, reporting from the nation's capital. >> garrett: good evening to our viewers in the west. thank you for joining us on a busy friday. norah is off. i'm major garrett. we're going to begin tonight with a memorial day weekend crush as tens of millions of americans who have been locked down and masked up are finally celebrating their newfound freedom from coronavirus. after 14 months of near hibernation, the country appears ready-- really ready-- for a real vacation, even if that means battling long lines or paying record prices for gas. and for much of the east coast tonight, it will also mean bundling up as record cold temperatures move in. also tonight, ahead of this unofficial start of the summer, the c.d.c. is issuing long- awaited guidance on how summer camps should handle the virus, releasing new recommendations for mask-wearing and social distancing for children, that

may-- may-- lead to more than a few unhappy campers. well, there's a lot to get to tonight, and our team is standing by from the skies to the beaches and to that wild memorial day forecast. cbs' errol barnett is going to lead off our coverage tonight from newark liberty international airport. errol, good evening. >> reporter: major, good evening. tonight is projected to be united airlines' busiest of the weekend here at its newark hub. more than 22,000 people are expected to move through, but just as many are expected tomorrow. meanwhile, across the country, millions of people are taking to the roads, and often for sentimental reasons. americans putting the pandemic in the rearview mirror, but in front of them tonight, long lines and crushing crowds. >> the lines are really long. >> reporter: coast to coast, a rude awakening for flyers hoping to rush through t.s.a. screenings. more than 1.8 million packed airports yesterday alone, which could far exceed a.a.a.'s prediction of 2.5 million travelers for the entire holiday weekend.

t.s.a. adding thousands of officers to handle the summer surge. >> it feels real good to get out of town, get out of the zip code. >> reporter: tonight, this dallas flight delayed after striking a light pole. no injuries, just frustration. >> people have a lot of pent up wanderlust. >> reporter: robert sinclair with a.a.a. says many have waited more than a year to see family. >> they want to go places and do things and see their family and friends, the so-called revenge travel is looking to be very, very popular. >> reporter: is that what they're calling it? >> "revenge travel." yeah, getting back at whoever. >> reporter: revenge on the road-- 34 million expected to hit the highway, even with gas prices at a seven-year high. >> we don't care about the traffic. we'll just go with the flow and we're headed to have a good time. >> you can see the beautiful rocky mountains. this trip represents so much more. it's us reconnecting in a way. >> reporter: in colorado, eric girlfriend to leopardi is driving with his girlfriend to grand teton. >> we're headed to a little campground there that's right by the lake. >> reporter: top destinations including beaches, national

parks and sunny climates. >> we are 100% booked. >> reporter: steve tecco owns the armada by the sea motel in wildwood crest, new jersey, and says the vacation area has reason to be optimistic. >> that means there's people buying ice cream. there's people on the boardwalk. >> reporter: now, airlines arek. >> reporter: now also doing what they can to calm unruly passengers. tonight, southwest announcing they will delay the resumption of alcohol service, which was suspended at the start of the pandemic. so many reasons patience is not just a virtue-- this summer, major, it may be a super power. >> garrett: america on the move. errol barnett with the details. errol, thank you so much. just as summer is kicking off tonight, the c.d.c. is releasing new recommendations on how to protect campers from getting covid-19. while half of american adults are fully vaccinated, most children are not. and that means millions will still be masking up. here's cbs' manuel bojorquez. >> reporter: tonight, the new guidance on summer camps is causing confusion. the c.d.c. says camps are safe to reopen at full capacity without social distancing or

masks, if everyone is fully vaccinated. but, children under 12 aren't eligible yet. today, the president pushed for more people to get the shot. >> we have to reach those who are not vaccinated and make it as easy as possible for them to get protected. >> reporter: that protection wasn't there last summer when a surge of infections and deaths were believed to be linked to rowdy memorial day gatherings and some states' early reopenings. miami beach was largely closed last memorial day. this year, it's open. but mayor dan gelber is concerned about putting too much faith in the honor system for unvaccinated visitors. >> the state of florida and the governor have not allowed us to check to see whether people are vaccinated, and that, of course, means that we just hope people are, and we hope that they're not spreading the virus elsewhere. >> reporter: dr. aileen marty says these are all encouraging signs of life returning to normal, but the virus won't stop looking for ways to spread. and florida continues to lead the nation for more contagious covid-19 variant cases.

>> i am very concerned about people who are not vaccinated, who think that because the rates are down, they're off the hook, they don't need to get vaccinated, and they're not going to get sick. they're wrong. they could very well get sick. they could very well end up in the hospital. they could die. >> reporter: as more people hit the beaches, theme parks are also expecting to see crowds. and starting tomorrow, universal studios in orlando says fully vaccinated people will not have to wear masks in lines or indoors, but the park will not require proof of vaccination. major. >> garrett: manuel bojorquez, thank you. the memorial day weekend may mean sweaters instead of sunscreen for millions. let's get the holiday forecastgr from cbs' lonnie quinn. lonnie, what you can tell us? >> you're right, major, it's going to feel more like the kickoff to the fall season as opposed to the unofficial kickoff of the summer. let's take a look at the radar picture right now.ar because here's the deal. because here's the deal. we have rough weather in texas. a line of rain anywhere from i'd say atlanta all the way up to the northeast. so you're going to get a wet situation tonight anywhere from

portions of georgia well up into new york state. it's wet tonight. it's cold tomorrow. look at some of these numbers. e these are high temperatures. worcester, massachusetts, tomorrow, 48 degrees? and it's not just being close to the ocean. you go well inland, lexington, kentucky, is only 55 for a high temperature. on sunday, philadelphia i want to highlight your area. you have a rainy sunday. i think top to bottom sunday you're dealing with rain and it's only 57 degrees. monday is going to be the day where you get the best weather for the northeast. temperatures will be in the 70s and the portion of sun and cloud mix overhead. big time heat, look at this: out west you're kicking off a three- day heat wave. you've got 105 in sacramento, 108 in redding. that's a three-day span of 100- plus temperatures. so, one extreme to the other. major, it's all yours. >> garrett: lonnie quinn with the extremes, we thank you. tonight, a chilling discovery: an extensive arsenal at the home arse of the man who shot and killed nine coworkers in san jose, california. cbs' lilia luciano has the late details.

>> reporter: tonight, police have discovered a weapons stockpile at the home of samuel cassidy, who killed nine of his coworkers at a san jose rail yard this week. >> we do have current estimates somewhere near 25,000 rounds of ammunition. the molotov cocktails were incendiary devices and they located approximately 17 of those. >> reporter: police also found multiple cans of gasoline, along with 12 firearms. they say the stove was set to trigger a fire. >> a pot was placed on the stove in the kitchen of the residence. investigators have determined that there was ammunition in that pot, as well as accelerants around the pot. ♪amazing grace ♪ >> reporter: at a vigil thursday night, hundreds honored the victims. >> he always said, "who is my favorite little girl?" and i would always respond, "i'm your only little girl." ( laughter ) >> reporter: authorities say this was clearly a planned attack, and they believe the suspect was prepared to take as many lives as he could if

deputies hadn't stopped him. major. >> garrett: lilia luciano, thank you. tonight, a guilty verdict in a murder case that became part of a bitter american political debate. the victim: a young iowa woman who had been out jogging. the man now convicted: an undocumented farm worker. cbs' adriana diaz has closely followed this case. >> cristhian bahena rivera, guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree. >> reporter: the verdict came on the first full day of deliberations in a case that rocked the heartland. >> he knew where the body was, and that was a big piece of the corroboration of his story. >> reporter: the disappearance of 20-year-old mollie tibbetts, who was last seen on a jog in july of 2018, consumed the town of brooklyn, iowa. surveillance video of tibbetts and this black malibu led investigators to rivera. the arrest of rivera, an undocumented dairy worker, became a lightning rod over illegal immigration. >> do you have anything to say? >> reporter: rivera told investigators in 2018 that he

followed tibbetts, who he found attractive, and when she threatened to call police, he became angry and blacked out, later finding her body in his trunk. he led police to her body in this cornfield. mollie tibbetts captured the collective soul of america, as her parents told us in 2018. >> people see in mollie their own daughters, their own girlfriend, their own sister. >> reporter: prosecutors said tibbetts' family is relieved. now, first-degree murder carries a life sentence in iowa. behanna rivera who said on the stand two masked men killed tibbetts and put her body in his car, plans to appeal. major. >> garrett: adriana diaz, thank you. at the capitol today, republican senators succeeded in blocking creation of a bipartisan panel to investigate the january 6 riot. not even the mother of a capitol officer who died after the assault could persuade enough

republicans to vote yes. cbs' kris van cleave has more. ( cheering ) >> reporter: nearly five months after the attack on the capitol, which senate republicans condemned at the time as an assault on democracy, many of those same senators today blocked the approval of a 9/11- style commission to investigate how it happened. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> i'm just terribly disappointed that so manyt so my republicans refused republicans refused to even look at a bipartisan, down-the-middle look at it because they're afraid of donald trump. donald trump is a-- is a bane to our democracy. >> reporter: the former president has called for republicans to kill the commission which would have explored his role that day. the panel would have given both parties subpoena power and delivered a report by the end of the year. but it only got six of the ten g.o.p. votes needed to proceed. one was alaska's lisa murkowski, who said her colleagues were only thinking about reelection. >> truth is hard stuff, but we've got a responsibility to it. >> reporter: many republicans have since downplayed the events

of january 6, with some even claiming there was never an insurrection. and a day after lobbying g.o.p. senators to back the commission, tonight, the mother of brian sicknick, the capitol police officer who died after defending the capitol on january 6, called the g.o.p. vote "unbelievable." >> if they had a child that was hurt, was killed on a day like that, they would think very differently. >> reporter: and as the debate over january 6 was happening here in washington, congressman matt gaetz, who is under criminal investigation, was georgia where he appeared to tell a crowd that the second amendment, the right to bear arms, was intended to give the public the capability to wage an insurrection against the government, something he said he hopes never becomes necessary. major. >> garrett: at the capitol for us tonight, kris van cleave, thank you. tonight, just weeks before

president biden's summit with russia's vladimir putin, we're learning details of what appears to be a new russian cyber attack. the targets were u.s. and foreign government agencies. cbs' weijia jiang reports from the white house. >> reporter: the group behind the brazen hack is known as nobleium, linked to vladimir putin's intelligence unit, and the mastermind of the historic solar winds cyber attack last year. this time, microsoft said the hackers targeted approximately 3,000 individual accounts at more than 150 organizations using emails like this one that appeared to be from the government agency u.s.a.i.d., the sender address even looked authentic. today, the white house said the hack does not change the president's plan to meet with putin in switzerland in three weeks. >> reporter: president biden sanctioned the russians after the devastating solar winds attack, which spread to 18,000 government and private computer networks, but the hacks have continued.

cybersecurity expert jim lewis said moscow wants to see how much it can get away with. >> the russians don't seem interested in stopping it. and that's why it's important. it's an informational warfare, and right now they have the upper hand. >> reporter: tonight, russia is dismissing allegations that it was involved in this hack, calling the claims abstract. the white house is downplaying the attack as basic phishing, but said federal cybersecurity officials are actively managing the incident. major. >> garrett: weijia jiang, thank you. there is more news ahead on tonight's "cbs evening news." hundreds scramble from their homes to escape a raging wildfire. and, the dramatic rescue of a driver trapped inside a burning truck. truck. ...and a around... .....and arounund the cloco. crest pro-o-health comomplee protectition giveves you 24-h-hour protece. crest. t the #1 tootothpaste brd in amemerica.
